The authors reflect on the White Coats for Black Lives (WC4BL) national working group in America which is comprised of medical students who are interested in social justice, and it mentions medical abuses involving Black Americans. Social advocacy in the U.S. is addressed, along with the anguish and mistrust that are associated with America's medical culture. The enrollment of Medicaid and uninsured patients in the U.S. is examined, along with the history of racism in medicine
